"An extraordinary 'prayer experiment' is under way in the United States. The participants are 1200 heart surgery patients, who know that they may, or may not, be prayed for by volunteers. In fact exactly half of them will be prayed for. Will there be any difference in progress between the two groups? And what will the results of this experiment tell us?" "Down the centuries there have been various attempts to prove the existence of God, and to demonstrate God's action in the world. Russell Stannard, physicist and author, looks at what modern science can bring to the discussion." "Comparing the latest scientific theories and age old religious thinking, Stannard produces some startling parallels. Taking the prayer experiment as his starting point, he goes on to examine Creationism and the Big Bang, Biblical miracles and Quantum physics, and the idea of an omniscient God in the context of 4D spacetime."--Jacket
